Being a supervisor means making decisions based on the best information available.

It means projecting budgets based on worst-case experiences, while still trying to protect basic services and staff.

It means understanding the needs of businesses and health care.

It means determining how to successfully compete for limited bond money.

It means fighting to keep water in our streams.

It means working with chambers, industry leaders and community groups.

It means listening to our council members and city officials so we understand common needs and goals.

It means understanding the importance of the special districts that provide the water we drink and maintaining the waste treatment systems we silently depend on.

It means sharing resources to insure that fire departments and law enforcement can be there for everyone.

It means recognizing how essential our volunteer groups are and providing support for them: The Library Foundation, CASA, Cancer Society, Easter Seals, volunteer police patrols, Soroptimists, Making Headway, the coaches and PTA members, school officials and many others that make this community special.

It means listening to the people and doing your best to understand their concerns and resolving problems that arise.

It means growing, learning and trying your best to avoid being opinionated.

Most of all, it means working for and beside the people who have entrusted you with a great responsibility.
